"Israel" continues its genocidal war on Gaza for the 202nd day, committing daily massacres against civilians and forcibly displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, while destroying entire residential regions in the Strip and blocking fuel, vital medicine, and food from reaching the 2.2 million population.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Thursday that Israeli jets targeted a house belonging to the Al-Amour family east of Khan Younis. Israeli artillery is currently sporadically shelling the eastern outskirts of Al-Fukhari and Khuza'a.

Gaza City was also targeted with intense shelling and airstrikes, especially al-Zaytoun neighborhood, while Jabalia continued to be the center focus of the week for Israeli aggression.
In its latest report on Wednesday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the number of Palestinians killed in the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Strip since October 7 has now reached 34,262, with 77,229 injured as the war reaches its 201st day.
The ministry stated that the Israeli occupation committed in the previous 24 hours six massacres against families in the Strip, which resulted in the martyrdom of 79 people and the injury of 86.
It noted that thousands of victims of the aggression remain trapped under rubble and on roads inaccessible to ambulance and civil defense crews. The occupation continues to prevent rescue teams from reaching destruction sites.
